Lori J. Powell is a CBP-licensed customs broker based in Fairburn, Georgia, a community in Fulton County within the Atlanta metropolitan area. Operating under filer code EAP, Lori provides customs brokerage services to importers who need reliable, knowledgeable representation when clearing goods through U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Her Atlanta-area location is strategically significant for importers. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport handles substantial volumes of air cargo, and Georgia's position as a logistics hub for the Southeast United States means importers across the region frequently require local customs expertise. Lori is positioned to assist clients moving goods through Atlanta and other U.S. ports of entry.
At the core of customs brokerage work is accurate tariff classification. Lori helps importers navigate the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) to assign the correct HTS codes to their products — a step that directly determines applicable duty rates and admissibility requirements. Errors in classification can trigger CBP audits or unexpected customs duty assessments, making professional guidance essential.
For ocean freight shipments, compliance with ISF filing requirements is mandatory. Lori assists importers in submitting the Importer Security Filing (ISF) — also known as 10+2 — through the CBP ACE Portal prior to vessel departure. Meeting these isf filing requirements on time is critical to avoiding penalties and cargo holds at destination.
Lori also helps clients understand customs bond requirements, ensuring that single-entry or continuous bonds are properly in place before shipments arrive. For importers looking to recover previously paid duties, she can provide guidance on the duty drawback program, including how to file a duty drawback claim under eligible scenarios.
Additional areas of support include advising on Section 321 de minimis thresholds for low-value shipments, assisting with ACE portal documentation, and helping importers understand broader US import requirements relevant to their commodity type. Whether you are new to importing or managing an established supply chain, Lori J. Powell offers direct, experienced customs brokerage support in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area.
